"Washington Post that Ohio State is a leading contender—among 20 schools that have offered scholarships—to land a standout linebacker from the D.C. area. This football stud’s most notable distinction, outside of his tackling prowess, is that he is scheduled to go on trial in November for armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery, two felony charges that carry a maximum penalty of 20 years each. According to the Post, he is required to wear an ankle monitor even while he plays. We might not have known about Ohio State’s pursuit had the case not required a judge’s ruling that the young man, whom the Post reports has a prior juvenile offense involving a stolen credit card, can visit the Columbus campus next month. During the hearing, the young man testified that while some schools, including Notre Dame and North Carolina State, stopped recruiting him after his arrest, he still received frequent text messages from the Ohio State coach, as well as others. Should make everyone in Columbus proud at homecoming. "

We probably only stopped recruiting him because we had no chance to land him.

Say what you will about state and amato, but the fact remains the football program recruits quality characters who earn their degrees in four or five years.

^i really hope you are joking. if not, you are ill informed.

^^ I wouldnt go that far, but we have been good at keeping our players out of trouble for the most part. There have been the occasional slip ups, year in and year out we've been pretty clean.


THe stuff our players have gotten busted for is nothing compared to shit that has gone down at OSU, Miami...and the likes.

wow, you are married to a former player. Congrats. But seriously, what's with the change of opinion so drastically?
